Not rare but oh so coveted is the rookie card of Wayne Gretzky, the wizard from Brantford, Ontario who rewrote much of the NHL record book while putting up offensive numbers that very few could have ever fathomed. This O-Pee-Chee example of famous card #18 is in the most recent of (scratch-free) PSA holders and has been given a mark of EX-MT 6 from its inspector, with light wear to the bottom left corner visible, along with two other lightly touched corners, while the image of Wayne is right of center. Some contend that the two thin blue parallel horizontal lines on the back of the card, at the bottom of the comic and which go through the puck, mean that such examples are from O-Pee-Chee's first print run in 1979-80, although others dismiss that notion. With the mention of "blue lines" comes this thought/question: has there ever been a player more dangerous from the blue line in than Wayne Gretzky? We think not. Indeed, a wizard!
